QUALYS-HOTEL Laon Sud du Golf de l'Ailette, Chamouille

Good value for money. The bed was a little firm (but we still keep coming back!)

Very comfortable and peaceful. The room was spacious with a lovely balcony. The view was fabulous overlooking the lake. Food fantastic and reasonably priced. Would definitely stay here again. Perfect for cycling too.

We stayed here for one night whilst passing through on our drive down through France and it was a very pleasant short stay. The room was big with a lovely vista of the lake. The evening meal and breakfast were fine and as expected. Some of the fixtures and fittings were a little tired but everything looked clean.

Our room was ok, but there was a big gap, as if a chair or sofa was missing. When sitting on the balcony, we couldn't see the lake as, on the first floor, the very narrow balconies are in the roof and the wall was over one metre high. So lake view is only actually available when standing. The room was very hot and it is not possible to turn heat up or down room by room. This was although the temp was only c20 outside and very little sun. This is clearly a common problem as a (very noisy) fan arrived very quickly. However, the greatest issue was a noisy group of 8 golfers in the dining room who were drunk, or close, and very loud. They disrupted most of the guests, incl family groups. The staff were unwilling to ask them to be quieter and we and others left asap after our main courses. When we complained, and suggested the manager be asked to speak to them, we were told there was no duty manager on shift (no 'responsable') and therefore nothing could be done. Food was very average anyway so we didn't stay for breakfast and won't be returning. Shame, as it is a convenient location and the setting is lovely. Wifi didn't work well enough to be able to use the internet although it picked up messages.

THIS IS A DELIGHTFUL HOTEL IN A VERY BEAUTIFUL SETTING. LOVELY RESTAURANT, BAR, OUTSIDE AREAS AND POOL. ROOMS ARE VERY GOOD WITH RURAL VIEWS OVER THE LAKE.
